Free eBook: Design the Inspire Way – A Practical Introduction to solidThinking Inspire click on the title here
This book is a very light-weight introduction into the exciting world of the “Simulation Driven Design Process”. It is meant to give pupils, undergraduate students and maybe even designers new to Computer Aided Engineering CAE a “taste”, a first idea on how simulation, especially conceptual design (simulation) works.
The tool of choice used in this book is solidThinking Inspire®. Inspire enables design engineers, product designers, and architects unfamiliar with numeric simulation, to make optimal use of the material by placing it only where needed to meet structural requirements.

Try the below -
Press the "Windows" and "R" keys together to open the run window.
